The team at Hassle Free were very friendly and accommodating throughout the day, we enjoyed ourselves even though the whale watching boat tour was cancelled (due to weather conditions)
We were offered an alternative light plane tour with Wings over Whales but again the the...More

Seeing Edoras was one the main reasons I wanted to visit New Zealand. This tour seemed like one of the best ways to see it and it turned out to be excellent. We were picked up at our hotel by our guide Steve Williams. Steve...More

Hammond was a perfect guide on an imperfect weather day. The rain and clouds meant we did not have crystal views of the surrounding peaks, but it didn't matter. The drive out to the tussock landscape and braided rivers was spectacular, and our guide (Hammond,...More

Michael and Gaike did a splendid job as our guides for our Edoras trip. The journey was well planned out with breaks and stops along the way. They shared bits of information about the towns, peaks, and lakes as well as movie trivia and videos....More

We had Michael and Gaike as our guides. The trip was a long one but beautiful. The guides were awesome and had a good deal of knowledge. We had to ford several rivers and their beast of a vehicle handled them well. Arriving at the...More

This 4WD tour was very informative for the locations of the movies. The trek to the summit of Edoras was a bit tough going, but well worth it. The views are awe inspiring and really made you feel like Eowyn looking out onto the plains...More

This is one of the most amazing tours I have ever done! The escenery was amazing, and although it was snowing (The first time I've ever been snowed on) the bus was warm and snuggly. Our guide was good, full of little tit bits of...More

When I booked this trip, I gulped a bit at the price - at 259 NZ dollars each, even with a promotion, this was the priciest activity we took this trip. Was it worth it though? Yes, absolutely. The joy on my teenage brother's face...More

Kia Ora Rachel and thank you for your honest review of our Lord of the Rings Tour.

This was great, we wish we did it when we first got into Christchurch. It was an excellent way to see the city, the driver was very entertaining and told us so much that we just wouldn't have found out walking around ourselves. We didn't...More

Kia Ora, thank you for your query. We are pleased to confirm that Kaikoura is recovering well from the recent earthquakes and the Inland Scenic Road, and State Highway One, are both open allowing access from Christchurch to Kaikoura. The township itself is doing very well and it is business as usual for most. Our Kaikoura Tour is operating however, due to some issues with the marina, some of the local activities are postponed until further notice whilst others are only able to operate at specific times (e.g. Whale Watch, Swimming with Dolphins etc). If you have a tour booked with us it would pay to get in touch directly to confirm your tour status. The situation is changing regularly though so I suspect that by March all of these operators will be up and running as normal. We look forward to your visit and wish you a safe journey to New Zealand! Kind regards, Hassle-free Tours.
